The Public Interest Legal Foundation filed an amicus brief arguing the subpoena violated the first amendment rights of freedom of speech and association.

(Alexandria, VA) – October 25, 2022: In September, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) filed an amicus curiae brief in Paul A. Ekenes-Tucker, et al v. Kay Ivey, et al al. urging the court to quash the Department of Justice (DOJ) subpoena on the Eagle Forum of Alabama, a conservative nonprofit organization. The subpoena, which seeks voluminous internal documents and communications from the organization, served to intimidate and chill political activity that is contrary to the government’s position.

Today, the court sided with PILF’s arguments and quashed the DOJ’s subpoena.
